CEMEX TO INVEST $210 MILLION
TO EXPAND YAQUI CEMENT PLANT
MONTERREY, MEXICO, March 6, 2006 - CEMEX, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: CX) announced
today that it intends to begin construction of a new kiln at its Yaqui Cement
Plant in Sonora, Mexico. The construction is expected to be completed in 2007.
The total value of the investment, which will extend over a two-year timeframe,
is approximately $210 million.
The current production of the Yaqui Plant is approximately 1.35 million tons per
year, and will be increased by an additional 1.8 million tons a year when
completed.
"The strong demand for cement in the region drove our decision to expand CEMEX's
Northwest Mexico facility. This investment reflects the Company's confidence in
the strength of the Mexican economy and the continued growth of the housing
market in the Northwest region. We expect this investment to provide a return on
capital employed well in excess of 10%, as we are well-positioned to capitalize
on the increasing demand for cement products in Mexico," said Francisco Garza,
President of CEMEX North America.
